I'm about to pull the trigger on a Surface Pro 3 principally to run BIAB on a tablet with a nice 12" touch screen. I have been running on my Core i7 desktop (no problems) but thinking the i5 tablets are several hundred cheaper.

I KNOW BIAB will run fine on a 5 but I am wondering if I might get any extra bang out of an i7 should I want to un-tether my Ketron S4 and try using a software sampler for realtime playing. Any thoughts?

Anyone using a Surface Pro 3 out there?
